LONDON COFFEE ACADEMY

As baristas we are passionate about coffee and coffee education. We believe it should be something accessible and inclusive for all. We also understand coffee shops have become a “third space” of our society today, a space where people go for social experiences and community building. We want and need to be a part of this culture to bring the values of Jesus into it. 

 

During your school we will focus on coffee education and culture in several different ways. We will have lectures with topics such as coffee growth & processing, roasting, espresso preparation, latte art, business planning and cafe hygiene. This will comprise two days of the week, including weekly coffee tasting sessions known as cupping. Later in the program, time will be dedicated to practical learning in our cafe THINK Coffee & Ink in the form of shifts. We will also spend one day each week out in the city experiencing different cafes and the coffee culture of London. There will be weekly homework including projects from designing your own cafe to researching different coffee growing regions. 

 

Please send in a portfolio with your application so we can get a better understanding of how we can help you grow in this art while you're here.
